Château de Boussu, Renaissance castle ruins in Boussu, Belgium

The Château de Boussu features ancient stone walls, a Renaissance entrance gatehouse, and a vast 12-hectare estate with gardens and ponds.

Jacques du Broeucq constructed this castle in the 16th century for Jean V de Hennin-Liétard, whose family owned the property since 1225.

The interpretation center displays artifacts spanning from the Gallo-Roman era to the 20th century, including a digital reconstruction of the castle.

The castle grounds at Rue du Moulin 43 in Boussu remain open to visitors who can explore the ruins, gardens, and nature observatory.

The nearby lapidary museum contains the Lords of Boussu funerary chapel with Renaissance sculptures in the Hainaut Gothic architectural style.
